That's the greatest feeling when some of these old V8s kicks over, makes it all worth while. Always seems to happen at 10pm just when you're thinking you'll give up for the night. Then about midnight someone threatens to call the cops cos of the noise of the unmuffled exhaust and you suddenly realise you've been out there half the night!
i watched all your vids from the beggining you do a truly great work with those car ! Good luck and best wishes for whats comin next ! Greetings from Europe Daniel
@redd5674 Thats cool. I like the older cars are I think they are built better I bought a 1964 Amc Rambler 660 with a 287 V8 about a month ago. I'm hoping to make a video of the car soon.
good job. wish i could of got my old 327 to do that... but she is locked up ... tried everything must be the a combo of the missing spark plugs and the moisture in the are up here....
I see that bright orange sticker on the back glass...Did the city harass you or something? I want to do what you are doing...(buy, fix and resale), but I simply don't have the room..How do you logistically handle having that many cars? Separate lot/shop?? Check out my channel and feel free to give me tips! Thanks Love the vids!
I hope you cut off a screw driver handle (flathead) and spun the oil pump with a drill before firing it up like that...... if not you just took many miles off that engine

I love this stuff Dan!! I wish I was on the other fender. Nothin better then the first time they start to pop!
Ahhhhh the satisfaction of starting a car for the first time in ages.
The yards cool, thats probably what my yard would look like if I had a home in a neighborhood.
My older brother bought this car in '68, it was about 10 years old at the time. That thing was a f**king tank!
That looked like it was a pretty exciting.. I dig the yard!
I can't wait to see it driving, not too far away now.
Seen a couple of your video's now dan and i must say thanks for all the uploads. suscribed!
Nice love it...
fire in the hole!! nothing like that feeling when they fire off the first time!

@redd5674 These 1958-1960 Thunderbirds came with the 352 FE or the 430 MEL engine.
awesome!
Wow!! Well done!

@redd5674
looks like a FE engine of some sort,likely a 352 or 390,
the Y block was only used in the 55-57 Birds.
Nice old T-Bird.
Great :))))
After your latest tow post... had to go back and see the flamin bird run
@oldford65 Thats a rare motor these days. I met a guy a few years back at a car show who had a 352 in his 53 ford
nicee. bit lumpy but hey not to shabby after sittin that long.
What motor does that t-bird didn't most of the early t-birds have the old 312 v8
Get Her Going Danny,, Hey You Going To Pates This Weekend?
Typical old Ford, starting up like that after all those years. What a car.
Did you empty the tank first of the old fuel and changed the oil? if you didn't your asking for trouble. The gas turns into turpentine
Where did the flames come from?
Was the flamethrower an optional extra on these cars ?
thats a very cool car it's a real classic ! how many car you have???
(sorry for my english im not verry good)
using enough starting fluid? it washes lube off of the cylinder walls
Carburetor is surely gummed up from sitting all these years, so is the fuel pump.
is that me or is the engine burned?
i think the carb dumped enough gas into it
IT'S ALIVE!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
